extended report on 'Morning Report' (quality radio news programme) this am in NZ on redundancies, morale and UK recruiting. VCDS gave the ctte a clear answer. the thrust of which was; 4 year pay freeze, more have left through PVR than were expected as a result of recent redundancies, general feeling of being shat on and buggered about. morale low. Thanks for efforts during CCh earthquake: gvt response was spend loads +give out a book - some refused.
Don't get me wrong I aint taking a side just reporting - eg. for the dark blue some big shiny(grey) new toys to play with for the light blue-NH90, Agusta109's and P3continuation, for the Army, I'm not sure but have a contact ( wait out...)
